What kind of watch this is
Longlegs is a 101-minute film where a gifted new FBI agent is assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer. Directed by Osgood Perkins, it pairs Maika Monroe’s quiet intensity with Nicolas Cage’s unsettling stillness. The horror comes from the fact that the hunter is also the prey. The tagline, “Say your prayers,” does a lot of heavy lifting. It is a film that trusts its audience to sit in the dark and wait for the other shoe to drop.
What the critics said
Critics met the film with a mix of awe and caution. Rotten Tomatoes reports an 86% approval rating as of March 2025. Metacritic assigns it a 77, which signals generally favorable reviews. The consensus leans toward the performance. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter called it Perkins' "most fully realized" film. Bob Strauss of the San Francisco Chronicle praised the blend of psychological and supernatural horror. Not everyone was charmed. Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair found it "stylish but vacuous". That is a harsh verdict for a movie about a killer who draws faces on his hands.
How it did with audiences
$10 million in, $128 million out. That is a 12x return that makes accountants smile and audiences wonder how a horror film about a serial killer got so much attention. On TMDB, users rate it 6.5 out of 10. The numbers say it worked; the score says it is divisive.
What came next for the cast
Maika Monroe moved from It Follows and Independence Day: Resurgence to Reminders of Him. Nicolas Cage stepped away from National Treasure and Kick-Ass toward The Surfer and Spider-Noir. The timeline does not prove Longlegs changed their paths. It just sits there, in the middle, while the credits keep moving.
